I buy the ones from Costco which are much more reasonable. Don't know if they still sell them but I think so.

Re: Huggable Hangers

[ Edited ]

Pass. Beware, they used to be well made years ago. But now just CHEAPly made. They all broke with ing a month!  Note, the similar hangers I bought at TJM have lasted just fine!

Any of you hanger experts have a hanger you like for pants?  I don't really like the huggables for them, but I need to replace them with something also easier to use than some of the other hangers I've been using. Just can't apply the pressure they require.

I used Huggable hangers for years and years and only ever had one break.

 

When I moved a year ago, I replaced them with Container Store's huggable hanger version because I liked the blush color. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

@willomenia   Yes they do break and I am replacing my hangers with the Better Homes and Garden brand...I found them at walmart...so far I like them, and I don't have to order them, I buy them locally.

I have a closet full of flocked hangers.  I've never had the huggable hanger from Joy break.  However, I did buy some on occasion from QVC and those did break rather easily, sadly.

I do like the quality of Joy's hangers best, but I have a ton of them, so not even tempted to buy. 

I resisted buying her hangers for the longest time, but once I got the first set there was no looking back. Except for a few wood hangers in the front entry coat closet, Joy's hangers are all I have.

I've bought three sets in the past, so I don't need any more.

 

The very first set I got (years ago) are still fine.  However, the second and third sets had several hangers break, right where the hook is inserted.

 

One set had three hangers break without any clothes on them - just hanging on the rail.  Where the hook goes in, it just split.  I found the hooks on the rail and the "hanger" on the floor; brand new, hadn't even been used!

 

There were also some in my shipments that were badly finished.  HSN arranged for a replacement of those.  I can tell that the older set is slightly thicker than the two newer ones.  I'm sure that's why the newer ones break.  In fact, there's another one in the trash today!  Same issue.

I love my Huggable Hangers.  I've only had one break on me and I think maybe it was damaged in shipping and I didn't notice it.  I've been buying them for years and all of my hangers are now Joy's.  Mine are the older version so perhaps they were made better then, as she stopped selling them for quite awhile at least on HSN.   My adult kids use them too.
